Charles has looked after the communal grounds of an Estate in Woking for a number of years. In my role as a resident director of the resident's management company, I have been directly involved in the decision making for the grounds maintenance and have had the privilege of talking to Charles, both in a formal capacity, and informally during his weekly visits to the Estate.
Charles provides a good quality service at a fair price, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants someone to provide a quality and reliable garden or grounds maintenance service.

Charles has done an amazing job at my Mum’s house. Completely clearing overgrown weeds (up to 5 feet) and unwanted plants taking over her artificial lawn. Really pleased. Thank you!

When we moved into our house, the garden was a mess, overstocked and overgrown. We needed help.
Charles to the rescue. He came for a viewing and a plan was hatched. Clear all the mess so we can see the wood for the trees (and shrubs and bushes!).
Charles achieved that in 3 short visits. I enjoyed his visits, guidance and knowledge.
Now is the time to see what has been revealed and plan re-stocking. When we need help, Charles will definitely be first on the list to call.

Charles was really helpful and polite, and did an amazing job transforming a neglected, overgrown front garden - clearing brambles and returfing.
Good communication throughout. Disposed of cuttings and waste, leaving the premises neat and tidy
Professional, punctual and reliable, would highly recommend!

So refreshing to find a local company and someone who really does enjoy clearing brambles! Charles was professional, hard working and friendly throughout, from the initial visit to quote, to the actual day of clearing the areas. Very flexible too as we needed to amend the work required on the day. Family very happy with the result and intend using Charles/The Gardensmiths for ongoing bramble/ground clearance in the future, too. Highly recommend.

Charles was very enthusiastic when he came to give me a quote for bramble clearance, and I was confident that I had the right person for the job.
He let me know in advance when he would be starting the job, and arrived nice and early, as promised - working through till dusk. Amazingly he nearly finished the job in one day, thanks to his hard work, and finished the job in just over an hour when he returned - only charging a small proportion of his daily fee for the extra time.
I will be using him again next year, to sort it my bindweed problem.

Charles worked flat out even during heavy rain to cut back a large overgrown hedge. His communication from the initial visit to quote for the job was excellent. He’s knowledgeable, trustworthy and efficient. I look forward to him doing more work in spring and definitely recommend him.

Excellent. The boarders needed to be tamed, deep ivy root grasses and overgrown shrubs. This is where knowledge is vital, what and where to remove. We were very pleased, Charles was our garden tamer and did a grand job.
